Respectfully,

Official Solicitation Number: Block 5 of the SF 1449 lists Solicitation Number 36C26026Q0977, while running page headers throughout Sections B through E (pages 2–37) list 36C26026Q0456. Please confirm the correct solicitation number to reference on our offer and correspondence.

CORRECTED

Technical Submission Requirements (Copy-Paste Error): Section E.2 (Addendum to FAR 52.212-1), Paragraph 1.b.iii, "Part III - Technical" (pages 23–24) references requirements for VAMC Spokane, Licensed Journeyman Electricians (WA & ID), fiber optic cabling, and Cisco programming. Please confirm these were included in error and clarify the intended technical submission components and page count restrictions for this boiler inspection requirement.

CORRECTED

Question Deadline: The SF 1449 continuation notes that questions are accepted until October 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM PDT, while Section E.2, Paragraph 2 (page 24) cites October 26, 2026 at 5:00 PM PDT. Please confirm the binding deadline for vendor questions.

CORRECTED: QUESTIONS DUE 10/23/26

CLIN Numbering Reference: Section E.2, Paragraph 1.b.ii (page 23) instructs offerors to insert pricing for CLINs 0001 through 4003, whereas the Section B.2 Price Schedule only lists CLINs 0001 through 0005. Please confirm offerors are only responsible for completing CLINs 0001 through 0005.

CORRECTED: CLINS ARE 0001 - 0005

Technical Factor Scope: Evaluation Factor 1.a (page 24) requests an approach to scheduling "preventative maintenance". Since the PWS is strictly for annual boiler plant inspections, testing, and reports (PWS B.4), please confirm that this factor evaluates the offeror's approach to coordinating and scheduling the annual inspections and testing visits with the Boiler Plant Lead.

CORRECTED

Limitations on Subcontracting (VAAR 852.219-75): In Section E.7 (page 32), box (iii) for Special trade construction contractors (75%) is checked, while the procurement is under NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services). Please confirm whether the applicable threshold for this service requirement is Services (50%) or Special Trade Construction (75%).
